I'm Back

Well, after about a 6 month absence, I'm back! I can't believe it has been so long since I have updated my blog, but I'm determined to keep it updated from now on. So what are we up do these days?...

Ryan

• Almost finished with the semester at BYU - just two weeks of class left and then finals week. You can do it Bill! (for anyone who doesn't know... Ryan and I call each other Bill. Yeah, I know, it's weird - but we like it, and it has kind of stuck) After this semester, he only has 2 semesters left until he graduates next April! The end is in sight!
• Preparing to apply for Physical Therapy School next Fall - We've still got a lot to do as we get ready to start applications. But, we are excited to start the process!
• Working as a Physical Therapist's Aide at a Physical Therapy clinic in Payson - Ryan got this job right before last fall semester started. I found this sweet job for him while I was searching for jobs myself. He applied, he got an interview, and was offered the job! This was such a huge blessing, as he needs a lot of hours of experience for his PT School applications. It works out perfect that he can get his hours and earn some money at the same time. He's loving the job and all of the old ladies adore him, haha.

Abby

• Graduated from BYU for almost a year now, and loving not having any homework! Although I really do miss school sometimes, it's so nice to come home from work and not have to worry about getting homework done or studying for tests. I'm afraid I distract Ryan from homework sometimes though haha
• Working at LDS Bookstore - I started working here last September and it has also been a huge blessing. This job is just what I was looking for. While I was job searching I applied for a TON of jobs, heard back from a handful, got several interviews, and I was offered a job by one other company. The other company offered me a job before I was even offered an interview at LDS Bookstore - but it just didn't feel right. So, I had to take a leap of faith and turn the job down, in hopes that something more fitting would come up. Later that week I interviewed at LDS Bookstore and was offered the job. It was definitely a tender mercy and I have been loving the job ever since. Currently I do mostly customer service stuff, but also other things too. Right now, we're getting ready to move to a bigger office in Orem, so that will be exciting. 
• Enjoying my calling as the Primary Music Leader - I've had this calling since the middle of last summer and can I tell you it is a blast? Yes, some weeks I get a little stressed about it, but overall it has been so much fun. Back in October I led the whole primary in the annual Primary sacrament meeting program and oh man was it rewarding to see those cute kids up there, eyes on me, singing their hearts out! I've learned a lot since then and I'm excited to get ready for the program again in the fall.

Us

• When Ryan's not studying, lately we've been having fun playing games with friends, watching our current favorite TV series, making yummy food, and planning for our future. Now that it's getting a little warmer, we're excited to start doing more fun things outside.

There's a brief overview of the goings on in our life right now. Really, life is pretty sweet and we're really enjoying it - hence the updated name of our blog - Our Sweet Life. . . That just pretty much sums it up!
